I feel like nightmares in media often involve a monster of some sort, but IME nightmares tend to be more grounded and involve someone I know personally doing something bad.

nah, weird gravity and eternal darkness aside not supernatural as such (had a funny one where i opened my door into black hole (like stars and blackhole looming below the door) and i fell into it and things of that nature)

*(vague threats of something following do happen though, like dilapidated building with red splashes and noises behind, but i find them easier to reel in cause they are much less believable than my building collapsing or whatever), but i think i can vaguely remember this happening like 2-3 times, compared to falling down nightmares
